abstract:

In this brief essay I argue for the materiality of hypertext as a necessary part of interpretation while arguing that the intent of the work is the work for itself, not to be confused with the intent of the author, reader, narrator or whatever.

This is a short piece about hypertext criticism that I wrote for an issue of the Journal of Digital Information that was dedicated to hypertext criticism.
